There were no parking spaces on the backside. Had to park all the way around up front. Bathtub was stopped up and didn’t drain.

We'll stay again.

The room was very clean, and the staff was very helpful. Breakfast was good, with pancakes, cold cereal, muffins and bagels, sausage, eggs, gravy, and a yogurt machine with toppings. We were there for the Fiddlers Convention, and will likely stay next year also. ,

This hotel is old and needing upkeep. Bathroom was very small. Furniture in need of restoration. Beds were squeaky. Mirror and art work hung crooked. On the plus side, it was inexpensive. Staff were friendly. Food was hot. It was a quiet night. It is very close to the interstate and restaurants. It served its purpose, if your goal is to get a quick stop and a nights sleep and some food in the morning.
